Ive heard that he's the junk food king of kings. When you have to feed the beast, it takes a lot fo fuel. It will be interesting to see how he handles it in a few years when he's swimming a couple of miles a day will he fatten up or adjust his intake appropriately?
Micheal Phelps eats so much because he burns so much off!
When you swim so much, and burn so many calories off you need to eat more.
He eats pretty normal, during the Olympics he ate healthier, but he said that he was happy they were over so he can eat whatever he wants =] so yeah =] lol
That's a lot. But think about how much he's working, it's crazy. He burns calories like nothing so he needs to keep them somehow. He probably eats like hot dogs, pizza, mcdonalds, that stuff.

mmhmm
Calories equals energy. Because his body needs so much to swim countless hours he has to eat a lot, or his body will get exhausted.
When I was in the best shape of my life I would eat around 7,000 calories a day. Sadly that was over a year ago...
He's eats it for energy and because that's about how much he burns each day after swimming for miles.
He probably eats thing with a lot of carbs:
-potatoes
-bananas
-pasta
-oatmeal
He eats all that because he swims 4000 laps a day at a world record pace.

Yes, it is a lot of calories but he needs to eat that much because he burns them all with his workouts.
He eats alot of pasta eggs oatmeal, Pizza tons of food. He needs all that food in order to win his races and thats where he gets his energy from!
he needs carbs and things
he burns alot of energy- more than normal people when he swims
i remember seeing this thing on what he eats- i dont remember when- and i remember thinking it looked gross- like wierd stuff on pasta gross
but he can afford those calories- hes half fish
Yeah it a ton, but he probably works out and swims.
